Our own Mark Jones lived a Syd Barrett fan's dream recently and went to visit Jenny Spires and Libby Gausden Chisman. He got to spend some quality time learning about our Idol. He even got to try on Syd's leather jacket! See in the blog post here and another picture with Syd wearing the jacket.

Here's a quote from Mark:"I had a great weekend. Spent the day with Jenny Spires in Cambridge then went to stay with Libby Gausden Chisman. I saw her original Syd artworks, tried his leather jacket on & went through her huge collection of Syd's letters. I spoke to Iggy Rose on the phone for the first time. A right Syd Barrett weekend. Truly an honour. I feel like I know him a little more now."
